Welcome to Blue Fox Farm

Blue Fox Farm is located in the heart of the Applegate Valley of Southern Oregon just outside the little town of Applegate. The farm is surrounded by forested BLM land and is divided by Thompson Creek, a tributary of the Applegate River.

The farm was originally a dairy farm in the 1940’s and changed hands and faces several times finally to find its niche as home to our gardens, animals, and family in 2003. Blue Fox Farm is a family owned partnership created to revitalize the reality of what we are rapidly losing in America– The small family farm.

The fields of Blue Fox Farm have grown and changed over the past 11 years. We began farming 3 acres of gardens at home in 2003. We soon added another 3 acres on leased land. In 2007 we purchased another 15 acre parcel just a few miles from the home farm and now have that space as our main vegetable growing acreage as well as several other adjacent parcels that we lease.

Our top priority as stewards of these properties is to keep the soils alive and the nutrient base at a sustainable level. Having these multiple properties will allow for long sustained rotations involving vegetables, cover crops, and fallow.

We currently have 30 acres of vegetables that we market through 2 local area farmer’s markets, CSA membership, and various area restaurants and wholesale accounts.

Blue Fox Farm is committed to using ecologically sustainable agricultural practices free of conventional chemical pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and genetically modified organisms. All of the vegetables grown at the farm meet this standard. We are Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and Certified Salmon Safe by the Salmon Safe Program.
